  • servings salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a 10 to 12-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, 1 sprig parsley, mint, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.

  5. Remove the garlic and parsley and discard.
  6. Add the remaining parsley and the basil to the sauce and stir in. Season the sauce with salt and pepper then divide it among 4 low oven-proof bowls, reserving 1 cup. Crack 2 eggs into each bowl. Dollop a heaping spoonful of ricotta next to the eggs. Then top with a bit more of the reserved sauce and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
  7. Bake until egg whites are just opaque (yolks should still be soft), 24 to 28 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.Give it a good grind of black pepper and a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  8. Serve hot with grilled bread.
